Anders Jormin: Touching the Heart and Spirit
Early Days
"I do come from a musical family in the sense that my father was a professional jazz musician before I was born," says Jormin, "although by the time I was born he had quit the professional musician life to get a more ordinary job in order to support the family. So I learned the basic rules of standard jazz language in early childhood, and so did my brother Christian, who is five years younger than me. We played a lot of jazz music at home when I was young, so I had a good foundation. Then I did more traditional training at music school, classical music first on piano and later on the double-bass; I finally ended up studying at the conservatory and then moving to Gotenberg, where I studied music at the university level for a number of years."
But while Jormin was deeply involved with the classical tradition, his own aesthetic was already being formed through exposure not only to jazz, but to the Swedish folk tradition. And at an early age Jormin was already looking at ways to combine these three diverse influences into a more personal approach. "I don't think it was a very conscious goal in the beginning," Jormin explains, "but it has been very natural for me. As a Scandinavian musician studying music, I studied classical music and I studied jazz music, which I already knew a lot about from my upbringing with my father. But we also have a folk music tradition that is more and more alive in Sweden. It was, of course, very strong a hundred years ago, fifty years ago, but then almost completely disappeared, and now it's coming back. There were good players who inspired me as a young musician, for example a well-known musician in Sweden named Jon Johansson, who really dug deep into the folk music tradition while still being definitely a jazz player So that and classical music always interested me. I always had those three things going on in my head and played them in different ways at different times. I take all my inspirations and influences into some kind of melting pot which is inside my heart, and what comes out is, I hope, my personality."
When asked who he would cite as influences from a jazz perspective, Jormin names few artists. "As a very young player I listened a lot to Miles and Coltrane," Jormin says, "and, of course, I'm not the only one. But I still say to students when they ask a question like this, 'John Coltrane is my house god,' for the energy and strength and power in his music. As a young musician/bassist I was quite fascinated by both Charlie Haden and Gary Peacockthe early Gary Peacock, the Albert Ayler free music playing Gary Peacock, although they were quite different as musicians. Of the two I must say that Charlie Haden was a bigger influence for me in the beginning. Not for the way he played his bass, as I realize that they way I play bass has very little to do with him, but for the strength and power in the music he created. I was also very lucky to play with Joe Henderson quite early on in my career, and that was a big inspiration, and I still find him as an underestimated genius on tenor saxophone."
Emerging on the Swedish Scene
Emerging onto the Swedish scene in the late '70s and early '80s, Jormin had the opportunity for exposure to a wide variety of players in Gotenberg, a city where the emphasis seemed more on the cultivation of creative music rather than event-based music. "There was quite a happening music scene in the late '70s and early '80s," explains Jormin, "and I was fortunate to move to Gotenberg, the second largest city in Sweden, which had quite a living musical situation with lots of different music and musicians happening. At that time musicians were moving from different parts of Sweden to either Stockholm or Gotenberg. But looking back you can definitely see that, while Stockholm tended to be a more traditional jazz centrebig band music, entertainment music, etc.Gotenberg became more concert music, the improvised music being played in concerts rather than behind a star, sitting in a big band. So the scenes were different and, looking back, I am happy that I decided to go to Gotenberg rather than Stockholm as a young player because for me that scene was much more interesting and challenging.
"The local jazz club," continues Jormin, "which is a very good and quite famous one called Nefertiti, still did the kind of concerts where an American starDexter Gordon or Horace Parlan for examplewould travel up here and play with local rhythm sections. So I was fortunate to do that kind of gig for a couple of years; had I been a couple of years younger I would have missed that whole way of doing jazz music - the star coming and playing with the local guys which was, of course, a very interesting education for me. That, combined with studying in school, was very, very good experience for me."
First Projects and Bobo Stenson
By the mid-'80s Jormin had already established himself as a player of note on the Swedish scene, recording his first album as a leader, Nordic Lights in '84. It was on this album that Jormin first teamed up with pianist Bobo Stenson, already a local legend through his classic recordings with saxophonist Jan Garbarek for ECM. "The first situation where we played together," explains Jormin, "was when I formed my first serious band, which was called Nordic Lights, and also became my first album under my own name. We played my arrangements of Scandinavian classical music. It was all by the major composers of Scandinavia - Danes, Norwegians and Swedes mostly. I rearranged them for a quartet with saxophone, piano, bass and drums and I asked Bobo to play in the band. He came to Gotenberg and we started working together and I guess we found each other quite immediately on a musical level, although he was already very experienced and I was quite a young guy, but it worked very well. Later on he got me playing with the band Rene Rama, where I replaced Palle Danielsson; that was quite a well-known jazz quartet.
"I really admire Bobo's ability to improvise in the truest meaning," continues Jormin. "I can honestly say that, having played a lot of concerts with him and, for short periods, basically the same material evening after evening, it is never the same. From the first note it may be completely different. That was a big inspiration for me and I still admire it, because in the whole world of jazz players, I have actually come to realize that few are true improvisers, and Bobo is one of them. His music is not built upon patterns or anything like that - pre-worked arrangements. And he is never interested in trying to redo the success of last night. If you suddenly come up with something interesting onstage it's very tempting to do it again. He is not very interested in that, and that's also a good example of a really strong improviser. Additionally, he has classical studies in his background, and on the records we have done together there's always a couple of classical pieces, most of them from my pen or suggestions/arrangements from me, but he is always happy when I come up with them."
Jormin's second album, Eight Pieces also featured Stenson, but in a larger ensemble and, at the same time, Jormin began to work as part of Stenson's own trio. For his third release, '91's Alone , Jormin would make a move that is risky even for an established bassist, by recording an album of solo double-bass music. But the album, which combined in-the-moment improvisations with lyrical interpretations of material by artists including one of his favourite composers, the Cuban Silvio Rodriguez, established Jormin's reputation as a bassist of note. "The album actually gained me enormous positive credit for many years," Jormin says. "That record suddenly gained me a name as one of the major bassists in Scandinavia, basically overnight. I received many different awards and prizes, so sometimes it's worth taking the risk."
Charles Lloyd and Tomasz Stanko
His association with Stenson would lead to his first recording for ECM, Charles Lloyd's '92 recording, Notes from Big Sur. "That was my first experience with Manfred Eicher," Jormin says, "playing with Charles Lloyd. I think Charles must have asked Bobo who he should use, and Bobo recommended me. I know he was very happy with the band during those years. It meant a lot to him. We had some wonderful years and tours, some great experiences for me, I'm very happy for that period."
While Lloyd would supply almost all the compositions for the four recordings Jormin made with him, he trusted his group's instincts implicitly. "His compositions," explains Jormin, "were quite often just sketches, a little unfinished or a little vague, probably on purpose. He would come with directions, because we did rehearsenot very much, but we did rehearse. But his directions were very typical Charles LloydI can give you an example from my first rehearsal, which I'll never forget. He looked at me and said, 'Give me some St. Petersburg.' That was what he wanted to hear from me, and I was of course, quite unsure. What kind of music is that? And another, 'Take me to India.' Most of his instructions were so emotional and coloured by his imagination and his way of thinking musically, so what they actually meant, both for me and for Bobo, was, 'Go ahead guys, and play what you think fits the simple sketch I've done.' Bobo and I would also do some work with his compositionswe added a chord here, added a bar there, and suddenly the sketches worked very well. Charles never asked, 'What did you do with this composition, suddenly it sounds good,' but it was ultimately a good collective process."
At the same time as they were working with Lloyd's quartet, Jormin and Stenson also played in Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko's quartet, recording two albums, Matka Joanna and the classic Leosia. The approach to the music, while sharing certain characteristics with Lloyd, was still quite different. "In a way you could say they were sketches," Jormin says, "but at the same time, quite carefully composed, meaning that if you sat down and played what Tomasz wrote, they were very beautiful pieces. But then, when performing, he was not so interested in playing exactly what he wrote, rather he was quite happy with whatever we came up with; he was definitely interested in free improvisation. What it meant was that he composed very beautiful compositions all the time, and we played them the way we wanted, and then the improvisations were free. They could have been excellently played over the formthe chords and harmonic structure of the compositions, because they were great, Tomasz Stanko is a great composerbut he leaves the performance of his music to the moment and he's very happy with that."
While his association with Stanko and Lloyd continued, along with more trio work with Stenson, Jormin continued to pursue his own projects for the Dragon label. Often-times stemming from commissions, Jormin sees that as a huge differentiator between support for the arts in Europe and the United States. "In Europe, in general, there's a bigger support for the arts," says Jormin. "How do we do it? We have high taxes, that's where the money comes from, compared to the United States, where they don't have such high taxes and don't support the arts in the same way. I think it has been especially important in Scandinavia, because our countries are big but with very few people, and should it be at all economically possible to have art spread across the country there must be generous support for it. Norway is, I would say, the best example of a country that supports its artsthey do it very well, and they are very proud of their jazz musicians, their improvising musicians, while Sweden is more into supporting classical music in general, so my kind of music gets only a little of the total amount. But a lot is needed and it's important."
'95's Jord , meaning Earth or Soil, stemmed from a commission for the International Society for Contemporary Music, and featured an unusual quintet of double-bass, vibraphone, keyboards, trumpet and percussion. "The ISCM is a very fine gathering of new music lovers from around the world," Jormin explains, "they have some kind of congress once a year, and it was in Stockholm that year. The host country always gives out a couple of commissions of new music, and I was one of the composers chosen. So it was a commission performed during the ISCM congress. And I did choose, and always choose, musicians I find I have great respect for or musicians that I am very curious about for different reasons.
"I learned, through the years," Jormin continues, "not to choose the instrumentation, meaning I choose the people first, and then see what kind of band I haveis it four harps and a clarinet? Hmm, that's very difficult, so maybe then I think twice, but in general I choose artists that I really appreciate. Rather than looking for a trumpet player, I look for a certain kind of expressiveness, and I had worked with Per Jorgensen, the Norwegian trumpet player who was on that record, through Jon Balke, a Norwegian colleague of mine, and I always admired his presence on stage. He's an excellent performer and inspirational, both for the audience and for his fellow musicians in the playing moment. He's really focused and present; that goes for all the players on Jord , I like them all for different reasons. I like the vibraphone; it's cold but played in the right way, still very warm, and in combination with the electric keyboards it's very rich."
Jord also featured Jorgensen and percussionist Lisbeth Diers singing, and the human voice has a quality that Jormin has ultimately returned to time and again. "Per is well-known, in my part of the world, for his fantastic singing," Jormin says, "while Lisbeth, who I made sing duet with him, had never sung before. So I encouraged her, and sometimes I used my own voice as well. This can be seen as an expression of my deep interest in singing and also my own small efforts to use my voice, not always to great success, but I am working on itnot taking singing lessons, but mentallyso it may be that I'll use my voice more in the future. I actually recorded a vocal piece for Xeiyi , my first solo record on ECM, but Manfred took it away, I guess that tells you something about the level of my singing."
In '98 Jormin recorded another commission, with an intriguing premise. " Silvae is Latin for Forests, and was commissioned by Swedish Radio. Sometimes commissions come with certain conditions, and for this one the condition was that it should be people who had not worked together before. So I put together a sextet with [trumpeter] Arve Henriksen and [guitarist] Marc Ducret, for example, two people who didn't know each other. In fact nobody knew each other besides me and my brother [drummer] Christian.
"Marc Ducret was an interesting choice," continues Jormin. "My choice was not to write music that would fit him, but instead to challenge him. And to challenge Marc Ducret you have to do more structured things, because he is a master of the non-structured, the tough side of music. So I would challenge him this way, and challenge other musicians in other ways; the music ultimately sounded familiar or traditional, but hopefully there's something special with every tune."
The commission, as performed, was split equally between relatively free improvisations and the more structured pieces which, of course, also had plenty of space for exploration. "There is always lots of improvisation in my music," explains Jormin, "because that's what I like, that's where the personality of the players comes through more easily, but in this case we did lots of free improvising with small sketches, or suggestions from me. We were actually talking about releasing Silvae as a double album, but that's where economy comes inthere wasn't the money for it, and since it was a commission I decided together with the producers to use the composed part for the record. We talked about releasing the other material later, but it has never happened; it's also very good. It's somewhere on my shelves, but it will probably never be released."
ECM and Xeiyi
After years contributing to other artists' albums on ECM, Silvae was, in fact, originally intended to be Jormin's first release on the label under his own name. " Silvae was supposed to be an ECM release, but it turned out that the commissioner of that piece, Swedish radiothe government radioalready had a deal with Dragon that I didn't know about, so when ECM found this out they decided they didn't want to be accused of releasing music that actually belonged to another smaller label. Instead we started discussing what to do next, because Manfred was eager for me to record an album for ECM, my having been then playing on maybe nine or ten releases. I had the idea to follow-up Alone , to do it again, to basically do it ten years later and see where I was."
The result was Xeiyi , meaning "to write," or "to compose your thoughts." Recording a second album of solo bass represented its own challenges. "I think Xeiyi was partly a way of challenging myself," explains Jormin, "and also maybe checking myself, seeing if I could do the concept of Alone once again, but even deeper, even better, from my own personal point of view. I think I can hear myself having become a much better bassist. The things I do on Xeiyi are, in a way, much more advanced, much more complex, but the expression and simplicity, at the same time, is the same and that's what I wanted. You can say it's a risk to try and do it again ten years later, because it would be natural to say, 'Now he does it a second time, it's boring' but I got very positive reviews for it as well. I think it is a development of what I did on Alone , to see what I could do with my supposedly-clumsy instrument; how melodic, how easy, how musical can I be on the bass?"
Advanced Techniques and Another Influence
Jormin has developed a number of unusual techniques for the double-bass, many of them influenced by instruments other than his own. "Well, I have spent a few hours on the bass, and developed a couple of playing techniques that are either loaned from other instruments, like the classical guitar, or maybe from Jaco Pastorius on the electric bass. He put bass and melody together somehow, he made the bass a musical instrument. He could play very groovy and very technically advanced, but also very melodically. He was also a great composer. The few things he had time to do were really good, so he was a big influence on me.
"So I invented a few things myself," continues Jormin, "that are already being used by quite a few bassists in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. And they always say that they stole them from me. They're nothing dramatic, just a few playing techniques that slowly spread; once you see somebody do it, it's like, "Oh, this is how he does that!' It's just things people didn't think of.
Xeiyi is differentiated from Alone by more than simply ten years of distance. Breaking up the solo pieces is a series of chamber pieces for brass ensemble that lends the album an even more unique complexion. "I recorded a whole solo bass album with Manfred," Jormin says, "and then later, when it was to be released, Manfred called me up and said, 'Anders, I hear some brass music here.' Then I said, "Oh do you, I don't,' but he still wanted me to consider composing small sketches for brass in order to mix up the album, because that's what he heard, having listened a lot to it. And while I actually said no at first, a whole summer came and went and then I called him up and said, 'OK Manfred, I did some compositions, do you want me to record them?' And so I recorded them without his presence, with four guys from the symphony orchestra here in town, four very, very good players, and Manfred loved it, and scattered the pieces between my bass pieces."
Eicher allows Jormin a quite uncharacteristic degree of freedom with his own records. "I think it comes from the fact," explains Jormin, "that Manfred said to me, 'I trust you Anders, it's almost as if you don't need me.' I think he has some kind of respect for my artistic potential and he also knows there is a certain direction in my music that he has found, and that's what he's looking for most of the time. When there is trust then he doesn't say very much. It's the same way we record with Bobo, he doesn't say very much because there is already a solid concept.
"I have felt a lot of trust from Manfred," continues Jormin. "In other cases, when he finds his schedule makes it impossible for him to come to a recording session as planned, he would just cancel the recording; that's something I have experienced in other situations. But for me he just says, 'Anders, just go on, I trust your music.' I think he knows that when I want to record I have a very good and strong idea behind it, and he's happy with that. I am really happy to feel that I have Manfred's full confidence and I'm very fortunate."
On the other hand, the one place where Eicher continues to exert his influence is with the sequencing of the compositions. "On both my own albums for ECM," Jormin says, "Manfred has had ideas. On Xeiyi he changed my suggestion of order, doing it in a totally new sequence, although on the new album, it has a certain order because it's a big composition. So there he agreed with me, but he could have had opinions and then most probably I would have accepted them, because I think he is very good at putting the tunes in the right order. I have seen that many times, on Bobo's recordings as well, it's always Manfred's order of tunes. I find that his sequencing of tunes is sometimes quite daring, he is never interested in putting some kind of hit tune as the first track. The first track might be very obscure; he trusts and requests from the listener to experience the record as a piece of art in itself."
In winds, in light
Jormin's new disk, In winds, in light , is an ambitious song-cycle that resulted from a commission to create new sacred music. "When I got the commission to write the piece," says Jormin, "it was not actually said that it should be a song cycle, it was just said that it should be a piece of new sacred music, to give new life to church music somehow; but I immediately felt that lyrics had to be a part of it. And I think, if I can remember, my choice fell very quickly with [singer] Lena Willemark, with whom I had collaborated on a few occasions.
"The commissioner actually had one suggestion," Jormin continues. "They happened to know and really like [pianist] Marilyn Crispell, and they suggested to me that she should play the church organ. So that was the only suggestion, but it turned out that Marilyn had never done it and she is always very concerned with doing a great job, so I came up with the idea of letting Marilyn play the piano, and I decided to use Karin Nelson, an experienced and highly appreciated organist. I found it quite inspiring to mix piano and organ; it's not done very much. So Lena was an early choice, and then for percussion I found Raymond Strid inside my head quite quickly. To me it's quite a logical combination, because somehow I could hear the sound of this music inside of me.
"It's a cycle with a certain order," concludes Jormin, "and there are improvised spots, but they are also quite structured, meaning I have written who is playing and in what styleI wrote, for example, a small fugue for the organist to improvise over. So it is quite a composed cycle, meaning that even though the improvisations are different, they are at the same time quite similar. The record gives a good picture of a live performance, but you lack, of course, the presence of seeing and hearing Lena sing, which is a fantastic experience actually."
Some of the most defining moments on the album come from Willemark's vocals. With Jormin's compositions, and lyrics that expound on the larger concept of spirituality in the firmament, Willemark proves herself to be an incredibly profound vocalist, sometimes caressing the lyrics, other times screaming them in almost existential pain. "Those sounds and coughs," Jormin explains, "they are a part of her improvising technique, so I didn't have to give her direction, but those high things that she's screaming, extremely loudly, they're something that I both wrote and asked her to do. It's a traditional Swedish singing-in-the-forests technique; when you want the cows to come back, you do this. It's also used to send messages from one valley to another one, it's called kulning , and Lena is of a true folk music family, an upbringing from a remote part of Sweden, so when she does this it's for real. And it is so strong and penetrating that the microphones almost have to be turned off, or they get broken. You can't measure the decibel of that sound; we had to redo those parts of the composition a couple of times, having Lena walk yet another ten meters away from the microphone and yet another ten, in order to be able to record it; it's extremely loud and it's definitely not a concert singing technique, but it's part of her natural music and of course I wanted to use that."
While Eicher was originally meant to be there for the recording session, a broken leg prevented his traveling to Sweden and so, once again, Jormin was left with full artistic license. The album was originally meant to come from a live performance of the cycle but, unfortunately, events conspired against that happening. "The idea," Jormin says, "was to release, if not the very first performance, then the second performance. It was recorded, but church organs are very sensitive to humidity and temperature, and on that day the organ's tuning was very high, A was at 447, so the piano had to be tuned extremely high, which meant that on the last third of the concert the piano was out of tune. The recording of the cycle was a very good one, but we couldn't use it because the piano was so out of tune, so we had to rerecord it almost a year later."
Touring and Longevity
Jormin has done some shows in support of the release of In winds, in light , and hopes that the album will reach a broad audience. "I'm hoping for some recognition and, of course, good reviews," says Jormin, "and then we'll see what can be done in terms of touring. Of course we need special rooms; finding a room that has or can provide both a good piano and a good organ, that's a challenge. Another problem is that churches in Europe, in general, are a little too conservative to have concerts played, using the organ in this semi-secular kind of way, meaning that in many interesting rooms they do not want to have that kind of concert, while it is more liberal in Scandinavia; we can use churches as concert halls."

With the more project-oriented releases that Jormin has done, does he ever wish he had a more long-term, ongoing band? "I think the truth is," Jormin explains, "that my weak side is the organizing, gig-fixing side of things, meaning that many of my projects are the result of a commission. We do the commission concert, maybe one or two tours more, and then I simply don't have the time, energy and patience to sit down and organize myself. In Scandinavia, the system of concert agents doesn't really work. It's probably because it's so small, meaning there's not a lot of money for a concert agent unless we go down into Germany and south of that. No agents down in Europe have been that interested in selling my projects, because it's a little too difficult music or uses too many unknown Scandinavians, or whatever the reasons that they have had, and I haven't had the energy to go on myself. So after a project has been quite successful, a year passes and I go onto a new project and then that falls apart. I would really like to have a band, but being a composer, touring bassist and part time teacher, there is no time for me to hang on the telephone and do the business side."
Still, his ongoing relationship with Bobo Stenson provides Jormin with a longer-term project, although drummer Jon Christensen, who held the drum chair for many years, left a couple of years back. "Since Jon Christensen left the band for different reasons, we've had Paul Motian as the drummer for the trio. We've done a couple of tours but, for a variety of personal reasons, the trio hasn't worked very much for the last two years, since Paul became our drummer. Now the trio is back at work but Paul had a serious heart attack last year and has said that he'll never leave New York again. I don't know if he'll be able to persist with that. But we now have a new drummer, a very good young Swedish drummer. I actually wanted to record our new album with the new drummer, when we realized that Paul would no longer be touring with us, but Manfred felt that it should be Paul since that was the original idea for the recording, even though the recording had been postponed several times. The album was done in April of this year, and will probably be out around Christmas. That's a guessit usually takes about a year from the recording to release for an ECM record, it's a very long time, sometimes longer. But Manfred is really happy with this record, he actually calls now and then just to say how much he loves it, so I have a feeling that the release date will be sped up a bit."
Heart and Spirit
While Jormin has enjoyed a strong reputation in Europe, and especially Scandinavia, for many years, now that his work is reaching a larger audience through ECM's international distribution, hopefully he'll make larger inroads elsewhere, in particular North America. While he has clearly forged some new directions for the double-bass, the reality is that he is far more than "just" a bassist; he is a consummate artist with a broad artistic vision that comfortably and seamlessly melds jazz, classical and Swedish folk music concerns into a deeply personal style. Jormin's albums may vary widely in terms of their instrumentation and concept, but constant is the drive to make music that challenges the mind while, at the same time, touching the heart and spirit.

The Virginia State Legislature reconvened on Wednesday to consider Governor McDonnell's changes to several bills passed by the General Assembly.
Last week, McDonnell amended 80 bills and vetoed six.
The Senate is battling over McDonnell's amendment to ban abortion coverage from being sold through a new federally run health insurance exchange.
The bill faces an uncertain outcome in the Senate, where Democrats and Republicans hold 20 seats apiece.

UIU in Mesa, Arizona
Covering Mesa: UIU-Mesa Center Grand Opening video
UIU-Mesa Center Grand Opening photos, audio, and video clips
UIU signs transfer agreement with Maricopa Community Colleges
"At 56 years old I decided it was time to get my BSN. A friend introduced me to UIU and the RN to BSN completion program. I was hesitant; it's been a long time since I have been in school. I am now fully engaged in the nursing program. It is hard for me to explain the impact returning to school has made on me. I actually look at the nursing profession in a whole new light, the difference in having a ADN and working towards my BSN makes me feel "more professional". I would highly recommend the Mesa campus and the instructors. I have felt supported through the entire process. I can't wait to be able to write BSN behind my name." Kathy Schmitz, Current Mesa Center Student
"The idea of online schooling has always been somewhat nerve racking for me, but my experience with Upper Iowa University has quickly changed my opinion while eliminating any nervousness I once had. I was initially introduced to UIU by my Battalion Chief who has received multiple degrees over the past couple of years both online and in person. He had nothing but good things to say about the university and the people who make it wonderful. My experiences with the staff have been extremely friendly and professional, making my online experience both exciting and adventurous. Their communication is outstanding and they have done a great job staying engaged and connected with me throughout my studies. So, if you are looking for a university with great academic offerings, reasonable tuition rates, and friendly staff who make you feel right at home, your search is over. Welcome to UIU." Matt Highstreet, Current Public Administration Student

Awesome service and oysters – The hostess gave us a very indifferent attitude. But that was the only "bad" service we got all meal.
The waitress was extremely friendly and felt very apologetic for bringing out our entrees before the appetizer. In fact, she went above and beyond and gave us free dessert as a way of saying sorry. And the crab cakes were only a couple minutes late! It's rare to get such great service.
The raw oysters were simply amazing. They were extremely delicious. And this is during Summer months, when raw oysters are supposed to be on their seasonal worst.
The rest of the food was ok. Nothing stands out in my mind. We had a sampling of most of their popular dishes. I've had better gumbos and such at other oyster bars in the city.
I did enjoy their desserts a lot though. And not just because they were free.
Great Place – We stayed at the Orleans and ate several times at Big Al's. The oysters are great along with the seafood chowder. The service was good and the price was about right. We will be going back to the Orleans soon and for sure we will eat at Big Al's.
Good oyster stew... – We had a late dinner at Big Al's and really enjoyed their oyster stew. It was chock-full of oyster and it went down well with a Corona. We enjoyed it !!

Far Cry 4 info coming 'soon', says Ubisoft
With PS4 & Xbox One right around the corner, Ubisoft teases unannounced Far Cry sequel.
Far Cry 4 will be revealed "soon", Ubisoft has teased, promising to deliver another entry in the tropical open-world shooter series following stellar sales of Far Cry 3.
"We're totally psyched from [Far Cry 3]," Ubisoft senior vice president of marketing and sales Tony Key told GameSpot. "It's a great brand, and now it's got the recognition it deserves, so we're clearly going to make another one: more on that soon."
Far Cry 3 launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC last November, with sales exceeding initial Ubisoft expectations. 2013 spin-off Blood Dragon repeated its success, going on to sell over half a million copies.
And Ubisoft has high hopes for the series as its enters the next-generation.
Earlier this year, the publisher revealed that it anticipates Far Cry becoming one of the next-generation's best-selling IPs alongside new franchise Watch Dogs.

Passive Aggressive Christmas Presents
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) I hardly need to remind anyone that Christmas is coming. For the next week or so, many of us will spend hours searching stores, websites and occasionally old closets for that perfect gift. The holidays are, after all, a time to give to the ones you love.
Except sometimes we don't love them. Sometimes we barely even like them, but tradition demands we still buy a gift. So, for every holiday shopper out who needs present ideas for that one cousin he can barely stand, we present The MainStreet Guide to Passive Aggressive Christmas Shopping.
We take no responsibility for December 26.
#1. Do-it-yourself Black Bear Baiting & Hunting
To be honest, I'm surprised half the items on this list are even legal. The rest, such as this beginner's guide to bear hunting, are just spectacularly bad ideas. I'd explain further, but I feel like the product description really does say it all.
Still, as long as someone has decided to sell a bear hunt instruction manual, you might as well take advantage of it.
Everything about this book is a bad idea, from the hastily sketched out cover and the author's vaguely academic credentials, to the fact that its mere existence says there are people in this world who will place a 180-page paperback between themselves and a grizzly bear. Consider this a family IQ test. If someone sees this book and gets the message, it may be time to smooth things over. If the next stop is a trip to the sporting goods store, Uncle Buck may not be ready to babysit.
#2. Lonely Planet: Afghanistan
I can think of no better way to say, "I hope you don't come back from your next vacation." For added impact, try inscribing "Can I have your office?" inside the front cover.
The good news about the DropEx Plus detection kit is that it can test for a surprisingly wide range of explosive powders and residues, including dynamite, nitroglycerine and semtex. The bad news is that it calls for situations where you're testing for dynamite, nitroglycerine or semtex.
It's not just that this gift is, under all imaginable circumstances, completely useless. It also tells your loved one that if he ever did face a life threatening situation, you'd equip them with five squeeze bottles and a pair of blinking arrows.
Good luck, grandma. We're rooting for you.
The nice thing about celebrating a passive aggressive Christmas is that it requires little, if any, subtlety. Give the gift of this rather mediocre murder mystery with some pointed eye contact, and the title should say it all. If that doesn't work, a card saying, "I saw this and immediately thought of you" should finish the message.

Jr. Warriors throttle Bulldogs

The Happy Valley Jr. Warriors implored tenacious pitching and fielding coupled with a fourth-inning offensive surge to capture a 7-1 victory over the Hampton Tuesday night on the Bulldogs' diamond.
Jr. Warrior pitcher Caleb Jones totaled six strikeouts and profoundly emerged as the leader of a defensive unit that allowed just one single in the first four innings. Ryne Baines got the Jr. Warrior going in the run-production department as the youngster turned in a 2-for-3, 3-RBI performance that proved the young man's skills are not limited to the hardwood.
The game took on a defensive tone at the outset that would prevail for the entirety of the first three innings. Baines' first two RBIs, a single to center in the top of the first that drove in Jones and a sacrifice fly at the top of the third with the same effect, stood as the lone testaments to offensive play in the early going.
The pitching of Jr. Bulldog Chris Holtsclaw coupled with the fielding of teammates Austin Vines and Wyatt Lyons kept the Jr. Warrior damage minimal through three.
HV catcher Justin Morefield did his part to keep the Jr. Bulldogs scoreless through three as the youngster threw out two Jr. Bulldog baserunners at second and third in the bottom of the third inning. The two plays, both long, accurate shots, seemed to electrify the Jr. Warrior dugout. The Warriors' subsequent offensive performance in the fourth inning was non-pareil.
Tyler Hurley's (1 for 3) line-drive single to center spearheaded the HVMS offensive assault in the fourth inning. Colby McKeehan followed up Hurley's effort with an RBI single of his own that drove in Duncan Hodge to set the score at 3-0.
A wild pitch from Holtsclaw allowed Hurley to walk in; and Taylor Hurley's (1 for 3) RBI shot between short and third base put the Jr. Warriors squarely on the warpath and five runs ahead.
A balk and Baines driving in of Taylor Hurley for his third RBI of the day gave the Jr. Warriors a 7-0 lead heading into the final inning.
Although a lead-off walk and singles to center from Lyons and Holtsclaw loaded the bases for the Jr. Bulldogs in the bottom of the fifth, the Jr. Warriors defense once again rose to the occasion and stifled the rally effort. Relief pitcher Forrest Hall led the effort that bent but did not break for the Jr. Warriors.
The team's ability to close out, as well as their overall defensive effort, were two things that definitely impressed their coach, Daniel Carder.
"You know we were able to remain consistent defensively throughout the game, and we took advantage of the breaks that came our way and did what was necessary on offense. I am happy with that," said an excited Carder post-game. "We were able to keep up the defensive intensity that got us to this point and Ryne really showed his consistency for us offensively. That just led to great baserunning and we really capitalized on the overall momentum as a team."
When asked about his team moving forward, Carder was just as enthusiastic.
"We are gearing up for Providence Academy next," he said. "I am glad we have a chance to have back-to-back conference games, I think it will keep our players sharp. As we move forward we want to have that extra element of competition. We want to start exceeding what we are doing offensively and adjust our hitting to any level of pitching."
Happy Valley (3-0 conf.) moved to 4-0 on the season while the Jr. Bulldogs slipped to 7-2.
JV recap
Dustin Sams displayed great pitching when it counted with a seven-K performance that was the backbone of the Jr. Warriors' 6-5 victory.
Although the Jr. Bulldogs jumped to an early 4-0 lead, HV rallied for six runs in the second inning and held Hampton scoreless until the game was called for darkness in the 4th.

Am I Allergic to Exercise?
In patients with chronic urticaria, modest amounts of heat will cause mast cells to release histamine and other chemicals, resulting in hives and swelling. Ostro says this disruption of the mast cells, and an increased tendency for this to occur, are in fact, the underlying causes of chronic urticaria.
How to Treat?
Avoidance is the best treatment for cholinergic hives, but that may be difficult in warm weather or when exercising. "CU can usually be prevented by daily administering a long-acting, non-sedating antihistamine, such as cetirizine [Zyrtec or Reactine]," says Ostro.
If a rash does appear, it helps to cool the area promptly. "Ice cubes are the best," says Kavanagh, "but I'm happy with cold water. Water is my best ally because wherever I am, water is fairly accessible."
The Sweat Question
While this type of reaction is usually cholinergic urticaria, Ostro allows that two studies have implied – not proved – that there may be an allergy to one of the components of sweat in a rare group of individuals. Still, there is little to support an actual "allergy to sweat" in medical case studies.
"Though this mechanism may be operating in a few individuals, researchers who study CU attribute the majority of cases to an abnormal response of the nervous system called the cholinergic nervous system," he says.
Perspiration, however, can assist a breakout of contact dermatitis, by releasing allergens from clothing or towels or adding to dermatitis irritation. But to be clear: the sweat itself does not cause such hives.
Ostro stresses that cholinergic urticaria is "not a form of contact dermatitis." Contact dermatitis doesn't develop immediately, "but takes 48 hours after contact with the inciting substance before skin lesions develop." Those welts also take days to resolve, not minutes or an hour as is usually seen with CU.
The heat-triggered cholinergic urticaria is one of the physical urticarias, which also include reactions to cold, sun, even (in rare instances) water. It is also the only form of hives that can be sparked by emotions, such as anger.
Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis
It's important to note a separate and dangerous form of exertion reaction: exercise-induced anaphylaxis or EIAn. This is a condition in which anaphylaxis, the most severe form of allergic reaction, results when a susceptible person exercises. It can also occur during strenuous chores, such as shoveling snow.
Unlike cholinergic urticaria, EIAn is only triggered by exercise, not heat stimuli. The reaction starts within minutes of exercise with flushing, itching and half-inch or larger hives (unlike cholinergic urticaria's tiny hives). If exercising continues, the reaction can progress to anaphylaxis with swelling (face, throat, fingers, toes), nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea and loss of blood pressure.

DON'T GO! So bad we had to send food back twice
and wait staff was no where to be found, even with only two tables full and seemed more interested in socializing than waiting on us.
Manager was rude by saying she was reluctant to comp the food that was sent back twice and left uneaten because it was so bad.
We will never go back.
You are a Greek Restaurant in my opinion why don't you concentrate on more Greek food. I love the Spanicopia (spinach pie) but it only comes as a side.
I have been to this restaurant countless times over the last several years. Excellent service and food. The staff have always been very friendly and the restaurant is always clean and welcoming.
We stopped going there in the Spring of 2012 because of poor service and the usual good food was going downhill due to bad management. We decided to try it again last week and you will be happy to know it is now just like it used to be, gigantic servings and delicious good. The waitresses were new and very friendly. I'll be going there regularly again.
If I don't get satisfaction from a restaurant I simply stop going... but you never know when new management or something will return so I always give it one more try at a later date.
Rude service – We called and the lady was very rude and she did not answer our questions. i do not reccomend going there.
bad smell bad service – I have gone to this restaurant many times and each time has gone downhill. This restaurant has a bad smell all the time. I went there on Monday April 27 for lunch. I am a wheelchair user and I was with my fiance. We went to the hostess desk and she stood there staring at us for 2 minutes. The hostess seated us way in the back, even though there were only 2 other customers in the restaurant. I feel dumber as a result of going to this restaurant, we informed the waitress we were going dutch, she looked at us as if we were speaking a different language, we then had to tell her we needed to split the bill. Her answer was "I didn't know if you guys wanted separate checks or not", this was after a lengthy pause. The atmosphere made us feel as though we were approaching death. The cook staff were not wearing gloves. When he announced our order was up, our waitress looked at it, then proceeded to sit down with other employees and have her lunch. I will never go back to this place.
Good Food Reasonably Priced – Very good home cooked dinners at a reasonable price. Very good open chicken souvlaki, good breakfasts, wonderful dinner specials, large portions. A lot of regular customers. Owner is often there, and stops by and chats with a lot of the regulars. We've been probably 3 dozen times, and he's never said boo to us. (And I don't think we're that bad looking.) Also, we never seem to get our dinner rolls so I don't know how they are but we see them on lots of other tables. We tip well anyway. Usually very busy, especially at peak - dinner/lunch.

Two Hurt in Hunting Mishaps in Otter Tail CountySeparate hunting accidents in Otter Tail County of western Minnesota have sent two people to hospitals.
By: Associated Press,
FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — Separate hunting accidents in Otter Tail County of western Minnesota have sent two people to hospitals.
The Forum of Fargo, N.D., reports a 16-year-old from Richville was resting the muzzle of a rifle on his boot when he heard a deer and grabbed the gun about 4:30 p.m. Saturday near Richville. The rifle went off and he was shot in the left foot. He was taken to a Fargo hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening. His name has not been released.
The newspaper reports a 24-year-old Henning woman was hurt when the wooden floor of her deer stand collapsed east of Perham around 3 p.m. Saturday. Melissa Johnson fell about five feet to the ground, suffering injuries to her lower legs. She was taken by ambulance to a Perham hospital.

Then National Bank can help you optimally manage your finances and benefit from substantial tax savings!
Your financial partner has developed easy-to-use financing solutions1 specifically suited to tax strategies like "cash damming."2
Cash Damming
Cash damming is a tax strategy that lets you take advantage of interest-deductibility rules by gradually converting personal debt (the interest on personal debt is not deductible) into business debt (the interest on business debt is fully deductible).
How it Works
Without cash damming you have to pay your current expenses and personal debts from your net business income. The interest payable on your personal debts is, of course, not tax deductible.
Interested in Cash Damming?
In light of the growing number of tax rules governing interest deductibility, you must have your accountant or tax specialist validate the appropriateness and advantages of using this technique in your specific situation.

In this weeks Virginia Adventures, Dan Schutte takes us 65 miles South to the James River Float Company for some rafting.
The trip beings with a short sting on the Mare River, that flows into the James River.
Right off the bat you are surrounded by some great scenery, and some rushing water.
"We got holes and ferries, bounce off a few rocks, but no terrifying big water, but we do have jump rock and the water falls" says Mason Basten, one of the owners and guides from the James River Float Company.
The water falls are just a short hike from one of the beaches the rafters use for a quick break.
After some respite, its back on the raft for some more paddling, and even a little history.
"Men operated form the headwaters of the Jackson (river) all the way to Richmond" explains Basten. Nearly all of the freight going West to East used to travel by boat down rivers like the James. "The kids will learn on my boat." says Basten.
The Company takes kids as young as six, and adults as old as 95.
The rapids are fun, but if you are looking for something more, there is also the aptly named Jump Rock.
"If you do what you love" says Basten, "you never work a day, and I'm pretty fortunate to do this."
All in all, a fun and entertaining voyage and a great way to spend a few hours on some of Virginia's most historic and most picturesque water.

In order to assist faculty with the potential tax burden associated with grant-generated supplemental income, the Grants and Contracts, Human Resources and Business Services offices have agreed to the following summer salary distribution policy.
Faculty receiving salaries from external research grants for work conducted during the summer months may, for the duration of the grant, elect one of the following options:
To adjust the standard payment schedule for academic salary, contact Human Resources before August 15th of the calendar year preceding the summer grant.
Please submit a completed Grant-funded Supplemental Pay Form (excel) to the Grants and Contracts Office on or before May 15th indicating your preference for distribution of your supplemental pay. A separate form must be completed for each year's salary distribution. Please contact the Grants Accountant for exceptional distribution needs.
Faculty may also adjust W4 tax forms to increase the number of deductions for the duration of the grant. When the stipend or supplemental pay is no longer being received, W4 tax forms can be reverted to the standard number of deductions. Please contact Rene Baker (704-894-2461) in the Business Services Office if you plan to adjust the number of deductions.
Since stipends and supplemental pay could cause the rate of taxation to increase during the months these funds are received, faculty may also adjust W4 forms to increase the number of deductions for the duration of the grant.

That place for Saks is still in volleyball's postseason. The Lady Wildcats hit the road today to take on second-ranked Winston County in the sub-state round of Class 3A action.
But their thought isn't finished.
"We expect to make it to the final eight," said Tucker. "That's been our goal all season…That's been our No. 1 goal — to make it to Pelham."
The only way seventh-ranked Saks (32-12) can get there is with another win today.
Up until the regional tournament, wins weren't a problem. Saks won its third consecutive area championship, when it captured the Area 9 title, defeating Wellborn and Piedmont to improve their record to 17-1 in area play the past three seasons. The Lady Wildcats downed Geraldine in the first round of the Region C tournament to qualify for sub-state play before losing a five-game match against host Ashville and 3-1 decision to Madison Academy to finish fourth.
That placed them right back where they were a year ago — on the road with a chance to play for a shot at the ultimate prize. Last year, the Lady Wildcats fell to 3-1 to Lawrence County.
"Last year, I don't think it was a situation where they weren't prepared," Tucker said. "We just ended up playing a Lawrence County team that was really good."
This year's Saks squad is led by 6-foot sophomore middle hitter Taylor West, who comes into the match with a team-high 365 kills and 101 blocks. But West isn't a one-woman show. Destinee Briskey, an all-area tournament selection, has 315 kills, and defensive specialist Rebecca Bowen, another all-area tournament choice, leads the way with 329 digs.
Aside from the all-tournament selections, the Lady Wildcats have another crucial piece of the puzzler Valentina Cuevas, their senior setter, a position akin to quarterback in football.
And this quarterback is just thankful to be on the court again. Cuevas missed her sophomore year when she tore her anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. Then she missed all of her junior season with torn ACL and meniscus in the other knee.
"I was pumped man," Cuevas said about finally being able to play again. "I'm just thankful to God I've made it this far."
She's racked up 779 assists on the season as Saks has garnered 11 wins against ranked teams while dropping just one match to unranked squads. Her experience at the position, having played with the same group of girls in junior high, has allowed the team to do more with its hitters such as playing more quick attacks, Tucker said.
"My job is to try to do whatever it takes make it easy for everyone else gets their job done," Cuevas said. "If I do my job — I trust my teammates — I know they'll work hard and get their job done."
Tucker said his team met a couple of weeks ago following the area tournament to discuss the goals they first set at a team retreat back in late July. Despite their fourth-place finish in the regional, Tucker said his team feels it can reach the mark it first set.
It's as simple as winning today, and they won't be surprised if they do.
"We feel like there isn't anything we can't do if we come together and play like we're capable of playing," West said.
He can be reached at 256-235-3575 or follow him on Twitter @birds_word.

The heavy early July rain put a damper on White Mills Days this year. So much so, several events were canceled.
That has led to a new event: this weekend's White Mills Festival at the ballpark.
With fireworks purchased and in need of being set off, several White Mills residents came up with the idea of hosting something else. One idea led to another, said White Mills Civic League President Tim Dennis, and soon, a heavy agenda of activities were scheduled for the community ballpark.

Marlboro, VT— The production of Macbeth: A Deed Without Name, an original adaptation of Shakespeare's Scottish play, will be performed Thursday, March 3, and Friday, March 4, at 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, March 5, at 3:00 p.m. in Whittemore Theater at Marlboro College.
Adapted by seniors Sarah Seagrave and Alexander Millard (who also directed), MacBeth: A Deed Without Name provides a different perspective on Shakespeare's classic work.
In the hands of playwrights Seagrave and Millard, the story of Macbeth includes an exploration of the vicious cycle of violence. Contemporary themes are invokes through the inclusion of poetry that addresses international conflicts, war and the use of violence by Rafael Alberti, Philippe Soupault, John Wain, Edmund Blunden and Wilfred Owen.
The production's conception, from start to finish, is also a departure from traditional theatrical procedures. Using an innovative technique known as collaborative theater, director Millard encouraged ideas and input from everyone involved in the process, including technical crew, directors and actors. Actors helped to prepare the sets, while technical crew often filled in for small roles, and some, like the assistant dramaturge, will perform a small role. Every collaborating member, including a number of students who are not theatrical majors, has helped the production become a collective achievement.
Millard and Seagrave hope that their adaptation, which also includes a changed time- frame and additional characters, will offer new insight into this well-known masterpiece. "Honestly, there are so many people doing so much excellent work that it will really be something special," says Millard.
This production is part of Seagrave and Millard's senior Plan of Concentration, a self-designed rigorous exploration of an academic subject. Seagrave's research project focuses on acting and dramaturgy, while Millard is concentrating on collaborative theater.
Collaborating cast members include seniors Alexander Millard, Sarah Seagrave, David Zimmer, Caitlyn Paxson, juniors Colin Bonnington, Hannah Curtin, Lisa Miskelly, Sarah Mutrux, Ann Sammis, sophomores Christopher Gabriel, Maggi Singleton, and freshman Emily Foster.
Founded in 1946, Marlboro College offers undergraduate education in the liberal arts and, since 1997, graduate study focused on Internet technologies. Its 330 undergraduate students enjoy an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 350-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont. Marlboro is a Colleges That Change Lives college.
The performance is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Elena Sharnoff, Marlboro College Public Affairs Officer, at (802) 251-7644. For cancellation information, please call the Events Hotline: (802) 451-7151.
